Stardust by Bhakti Ziek, a permanent installation at Whitman College, Princeton University (photo by Ed Wendell)

I have been working on Stardust (a permanent installation at Whitman College, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ) since May 2013. It was installed March 19-20, 2014. There are six panels, each 16 feet high x 27.25 inches wide. They are handwoven weft-backed jacquards made out of silk, tencel, and metallic yarns.It was an incredible year. One that called on me to use all the knowledge I have acquired over the years related to weaving and art, and still it pushed me to new territory and insights. I will write more about it soon (relatively soon) but for now you can see more images (photos by Ed Wendell) on my facebook page if you go to this link.Princeton University commissioned a video on the making of Stardust. It was produced and edited by Michael Sacca. Click here to see.

Slideshow of WEAVINGS

If you hover over the image in the slideshow above, you will get a control bar which allows you to pause an image, go forward or backwards.

If you click on an image in the slideshow, it will take you to a new full-screen window. There you can scroll through the images at your leisure (white ground) or click on the top slideshow button and see the weavings on a black ground. There are captions in both that give you information about each work.

If you are interested in purchasing one of my weavings, please email me for details.
